I will tell you my story.

I lived with my mom until I was 13ish. The day I left to live with my dad was a big argument. Just like all of the previous years living with her.
After a few years we got close. Now, over 10 years later, she is my best friend.

She recently moved closer to me. (About 3 hour drive opposed to 12 hour drive) and we are bumpy just learning to see each other more.
But, she has never spent the night at my house because we both know it will just start arguments.

So in my life, NOT living with my mom was the best thing she and I could ever do to strengthen our relationship.

I will also say, at the beginning she was very very hurt not having me with her. (Even though I got kicked out, which is a complicated story).
So if you chose to live independently, expect your family to react emotionally in their own way.

I wish you luck and strength with your decision.
